Serving Suggestion Issue 02 continues the food-as-cultural-lens project begun in its first issue, threading together Indonesian carbohydrate politics, Sudanese cuisine, Balinese governance, and the quiet social power of recipes into a single, digressive read.
About This Book
Food writing at its most curious resists the recipe and the restaurant review in equal measure. Serving Suggestion Issue 02 operates in that space — using food as a method for reading culture, community, and identity. Reyza Ramadhan and Faza Chu return from the first issue with second instalments on alternative carbohydrate sources and Sudanese cuisine respectively, while restaurateur and art collector Teddy Lazuardi reflects on his path through the food business. Elsewhere, the issue turns to recipes as instruments of social cohesion, the politics of food in Bali, and a personal reckoning with Middle Eastern cuisine. Edited by Januar Rianto, Almer Mikhail, and Shaquille Norman, this is a publication for readers who understand that what we eat is rarely just about eating.
